Chords with lyrics

DmDm Bb majorBb G minorGm DmDm

Verse 1:
 FF             DmDm
You said you'd show me the ropes
           Bb majorBb
As you tied me to the tracks
         DmDm
Didn't help to struggle
         FF
Lies were good as facts

Verse 2:
For years and years
     Bb majorBb   G minorGm      Bb majorBb  DmDm
You swore up and down you were over it
            G minorGm    Bb majorBb
Your eyes had seen the kingdom
        G+G  A augmentedA       DmDm
A augmentedA born again misfit, born again misfit

Pre-Hook:
  Bb majorBb
Unravelling up time these truths
FF
Tracing all the writer's roots
Bb majorBb
Red rope binds and fast embrace
G minorGm         A augmentedA
Some knots don't untie
G minorGm         A augmentedA
Some knots do not untie

Hook:
DmDm                Bb majorBb
Pray for forgiveness, cry for reprieve
       G minorGm
Because these ties that bind
    A minorAm       Bb majorBb
Don't come undone as fast as you'd believe
      DmDm                Bb majorBb
But for a new heart; it breaks but does not bleed
  G minorGm        A minorAm
The red ropes are a viper's nest
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA   DmDm
You can never leave

Verse 3:
FF            DmDm
Heaven hollowed out its veins
         Bb majorBb
And fixed a hollow man
            DmDm
You found a cure for a pain
         Bb majorBb
You swore you'd never hurt again

Verse 4:
  FF          DmDm
I'll always be a prized fighter
          Bb majorBb
Even up against the ropes
           DmDm
You will always be a liar
           Bb majorBb
Punchdrunk on busted hopes

Hook:
DmDm                Bb majorBb
Pray for forgiveness, cry for reprieve
       G minorGm
Because these ties that bind
    A minorAm       Bb majorBb
Don't come undone as fast as you'd believe
      DmDm                Bb majorBb
But for a new heart; it breaks but does not bleed
  G minorGm        A minorAm
The red ropes are a viper's nest
Bb majorBb    A augmentedA   DmDm
You can never leave

DmDm Bb majorBb G minorGm DmDm
till fade
